| User ReviewMark PWatching one of my all time favourite movies. I watched it countless times as a kid. |
| User ReviewHeather MJohn Wayne flag-waver singing the praises of the Construction Battalions. Worthy and action-packed enough to be entertaining. Could have done without the tacked-on love story. |
| User ReviewJenn MAll-American hero John Wayne takes a crew of construction workers and turns them into one of WWII's toughest fighting forces in this action-packed war classic. But first he has to convince the army b...( read more read more... )rass to let his civilians bear arms, and then he's got to whip them into combat shape. Now Wayne is fighting for his life on a different battlefield when he's brought up on court-martial charges for leading his troops in an all-out assault against the Japanese. It's Wayne at his best, playing the kind of rough-and-tumble man of honor that made him a legend and Hollywood's biggest star. An entertaining combination of strong supporting performances by Daniel O'Keefe and ravishing, about-to-be superstar Susan Hayward. |
